Phenomenal Value

First Of all let me say that I rarely take the time to write reviews, something has to be truly awful or exceptionally good to prompt me - PhotoPills absolutely fits in to the latter category.
Whilst admitting to have only “played” with this app to date I am blown away by what it looks capable of (time will tell) but equally by the incredible value it represents.
The app itself offers immediate help through the Academy tab and through this you can access not only a full user guide but a range of well presented ebooks covering a range of topics including moon, sunset, blue hour and Milky Way photography.
I have seen comments about the complexity of the app, and they are honest observations; but, as advised by PhotoPills don’t try to understand all that the app can do at once - take it in bite size chunks: I use Photoshop, Lightroom and Luminar at various points for photo editing and am still learning all that they can do too.
If you are wondering if it is worth investing a tenner in this app, stop wondering and do it.

Probably the singular most important thing

PhotoPills is Probably the singular the most important tool you can ever have for getting a great photo. The importance of planning and knowing when you need to be on location to get that perfect photo. Getting the moon or lack of moon light, the position of any stars in the night sky perspective and FOV are just a few of the tools available through this APP AND all this for a very small fee, it’s saved me so much money in fuel and time. It also come with a vast list of free how to videos. I promise you if you put the effort into using this APP it will very soon become as important as you camera. I have used many apps in the past but in the last two years of using PHOTOPILLS it has given me so much and just when I think I have it all figured out up pops something else new I can use to help with my photography. Don’t miss out make life easier become a PhotoPiller

First impressions

I downloaded the app a few hours ago and have not used it yet, but I have adjusted the settings to my requirements and taken a look at the e-book. The five stars is therefore based not on use, but on the fact that Photopills meets its App Store description and that it is also well-supported with the e-book and videos.
There is one possible improvement which has come to mind. I use several formats, ranging from i-phone to 5x4 film. It would be very helpful if a way could be provided to change from one to another without having to scroll through lists of cameras.

Hi! Thank you! When you select a camera it’s placed at the top of the list, in the Recent Cameras section :)
